Mobility planning (automatic translation)
- Teacher(s) Vincent Kaufmann, Emmanuel Ravalet, Olivier Klein, Ayman Zoubir and Juliana González Villamizar
- Course
- Category Civil engineering
- Study level Master
- Language English
- Description
Mobility Planning is a course designed around the environmental, economic, territorial and social issues associated with mobility today. Beyond transportation, mobility encompasses a whole range of phenomena and realities that interact and change constantly. This implies political choices over time, which are at the heart of planning issues. Over the course of 5 weeks and with the participation of a large number of contributors, the course offers theoretical elements, tools, techniques and practical examples that will enable you to undertake a mobility planning approach. This MOOC is the product of a collaboration between two research laboratories: the Urban Sociology Laboratory at EPFL and the Aménagement Economie Transport Laboratory at ENTPE, University of Lyon.
